A member asked:

What's the most effective way to prevent diseases in twin kids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Preventing Illness: The most important thing to do to prevent illness in siblings is handwashing. Also, make sure each child has his or her own toys instead of sharing all toys. Try to wash hands before and after each meal and when coming in from outside. Also at the first sign of a cold, try using nasal saline drops for the nose. Enjoy!
